Zen Again 3

 


"El Toro," The Bull; Nigel Mansell's nom de guerre, in his Formula 1 racing prime. The name, too, of the red Sunseeker gifted to him, by a grateful team Ferrari. The boat which lies across the pontoon, from Stargazer. As the sun sets, in the peace of a spring evening. 


On Friday, Simon persuaded Stargazer’s two missing bell housing bolts into position. A feat which required some ingenuity. Buried as they are in the bilge, with pipework running above them. Restricting both visibility and access.


Only with the aid of a magnet, and a flexible socket drive, did they succumb to Simon's powers of mechanical persuasion. (Brochure shot)


Cue the return of Stargazer's saloon, to a habitable condition. The three dimensional jigsaw puzzle, which is the stowing of longlife provisions, has begun.
